I've had great fun over the last few weeks or even months trying out Rare's cross platform 'act like a pirate' game.Everything in the technical Alpha and the 'Pioneer' sessions that I'm playing at the moment is all covered by an NDA, however they dropped that for a closed Beta session they ran last week. I was disappointed to find out that a lot of the content that was in the tech was left out, and they'd not added anything new for it, but I suppose we were generating a lot of data on stress loading the parts they knew were stable.

So I've recorded a few hours of gameplay, mainly for my daughter who loves watching this.

You're right, Bob. Sea of Thieves heavily depends on the people you play with. If they're up to shenanigans, you'll have a blast. As soon as you have no one to play with, the game starts to get really boring. At least that's how it was for me. I hope they expand it with more meaningful content.
